Why does it feel like the reviewing speed has slowed down? Can any reviewer give an estimate of how long the first review might take? Please share the progress.

I have to say that MDPI's journals are really fast; it only took a little over a month to finish. I personally didn't think my work was that great, but it was surprisingly easy to get accepted. I can only say that everyone should stop submitting low-quality work here. I don't understand how it can still be classified as a Q2 journal...

This journal is a typical representative of judging people based on their affiliations. It does not consider the quality of the articles, but only focuses on the author's institution and whether they have connections within the industry. They employ a group of inexperienced screeners to come up with disgusting reasons for rejection. The published articles of the same type vary in quality, but if you look closely at the institutions, you'll see. It is a great shame that this journal can be classified as a second-tier. Don't call me bitter, but after being directly rejected, I submitted to a journal that is much better than this one and got accepted. This journal has no other advantages except for being fast in reviewing submissions.

No hospitals, WB wants raw data.

TinBaoBao 2022-03-27

Hello, I would like to ask if being affiliated with a university hospital would result in direct rejection? Also, what level of raw data is required? Is it necessary to have WB original images or is it sufficient to have repeated results at least three times?

I have been searching for impact factors and journal-related information on LetPub, so I decided to contribute my own work as well. Although I didn't want to hastily publish my results, I had to choose a faster journal because several graduate students are graduating. MDPI journals are relatively fast, and I found their impact factor to be 5.6, which is enough for four master's degree graduations (the school requires a certain impact factor). It took me two weeks of hard work from creating figures to writing the paper (from the third day of the lunar new year to the fourteenth day), and then I submitted it. The manuscript was reviewed for two weeks and accepted after one month. Actually, journals like this are also needed because they support controversial findings. Due to the fast review process, it is suitable for students who need to graduate urgently.

May I ask if this journal is suitable for submission regarding entomology?

圆圆 2022-03-24

Hello, can I submit to this journal in the field of entomology? Is the review process fast? I have been struggling in a top-tier journal and urgently need publications for graduation.

Not recommended to invest again, the manipulation is too severe, be cautious and stay alert.

深白色943 2022-02-28

The editor's attitude is very good, and the review speed is not at all sluggish. Thumbs up!

I have been hesitating, but I decided to submit the article after seeing that the latest division is ranked as TOP in the second district. The article was accepted, but I am not very happy about it. The workload of publishing articles has been too heavy in these two years. There were 13,760 articles in total in 2021, and it is expected to be close to 20,000 articles in 2022. The reputation of MDPI has been a bit... for the past two years. For those who are not in a hurry, everyone should still be cautious!

Originally, I submitted my research to the biology journal, but the next day I received a warning. According to the review results, there was a high probability of acceptance. After withdrawing the submission from the biology journal, I submitted it to IJMS. However, the result was that I had to transfer it to the journal "Current Issues in Molecular Biology," which only had a ranking of 2 points. At least in biology, the acceptance rate was close to being selected for a 5-point journal. The 2-point ranking for the transfer was too low, so I had no choice but to reject it.

The colleagues at the hospital were indeed unfriendly, as they did not provide specific feedback and rejected my submission. After submitting on January 22nd, I received the rejection letter on January 26th.

Has the status of your application been updated? Does it take a long time for it to be reviewed now?

noyq 2022-01-17

May I ask how your progress is going? I also submitted around the same time, and it has been pending review.

农父三拳 2022-01-15

The state I am in is similar to the time when you submitted your work. Maybe there is something going on with the magazine recently. The state of rejecting submissions without external review usually means waiting for the editor's decision, not waiting for the review.

成龙 2022-01-14

I would like to consult with you experts. I submitted my work on Monday, and now it's Friday, but it is still pending review. Does this mean it is most likely going to be rejected?

成龙 2022-01-14

Hello, mine has also been pending review for the fifth day, and still no news. I wanted to ask if your article was accepted in the end?

成龙 2022-01-14

Hello, I would like to ask, is your article under review only on the fourth day? I also submitted mine on Monday, and now it's Friday, still pending review. I feel like it's going to be rejected.

May I ask if the WB strips in the original image compression package are the same as the ones in the figure, or do we need the original image with markers?

YYJOXY 2022-01-04

Excuse me, have you provided the original WB data? How can I obtain it? I'm in a hurry as I need it for graduation. Online waiting.

小猛哥 2021-12-30

No need, when uploading, put the original images in a compressed file, including all experiment-related images in the manuscript.

hbhuang 2021-12-30

Although I have had the fortune of having two papers published in this journal and have witnessed its growth, I still feel compelled to sincerely advise the editorial team. It is not easy to cultivate a journal, and it should not be treated so lightly. The number of articles per year is approaching ten thousand, which is excessive. It seems like they are rushing towards their own demise. It would be better to have a sustainable and steady growth, rather than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. After all, no author would want to feel ashamed to include a journal they worked hard to get published in on their resume.

One good news is that according to the latest classification by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the 3rd tier Biological Journals (non-TOP journals) have been upgraded to the 2nd tier Biological Journals (TOP journals).

YYJOXY 2021-12-27

Great God, have you provided the raw data? What data do we need to submit? Thank you so much! I'm in a hurry to graduate, waiting online.

Not easy, started submitting since June this year, got rejected twice before. Seeing graduation approaching, I chose to persevere and finally got accepted with the help of IMJS. Thank you to my hardworking self!

小猛哥 2021-12-22

Many people accepted the review within 2 to 3 days, and the longest it took was 7 days. My first round of revisions took 6 days to complete and receive feedback. The second round was another major revision, prompted by a request from the reviewer (which was unrelated to the article). After providing a detailed explanation, I sent back the revised version on December 16th. However, it has already been the seventh day and the manuscript is still in the review status. Is this the rhythm of finishing work after Christmas and New Year, or is there another reason? Will we not see the dawn of victory in 2021? I am anxious!

AlbertTJR 2021-12-21

It is possible that mine has also not made any progress until now, which is quite frustrating.

小猛哥 2021-12-21

Did they take an early holiday for Christmas? There is still no news on the revised date of December 16th.
